Baked fish makes such a lovely quick dinner – it's easier than you think to cook too, you just need to pack in the flavour when using white fish fillets. Step in our punchy seed and courgette pesto that creates a tasty and crunchy topping. Serve with a dressed salad of potatoes, tomatoes and rocket for a light and healthy summery meal.
